5.0 out of 5 stars
It just gets better and better, June 18, 2005
This review is from: Monarch of the Glen - Series Three (DVD)
I just don't understand the negative reviews. Series 3 had some of the wittiest episodes to date as well as the most heart-wrenching ones. It introduces some memorable new characters, including Stella, an alpha female banker handpicked to bring Glenbogle out of debt. Hector and Molly are as charming and as eccentric as ever. This is a series not to be missed, and I wish Series 4 would come out quickly, since in the U.K., Series 5 has already been released. Monarch of the Glen is television at its best.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Changes made, but still a wonderful show!, August 30, 2005
This review is from: Monarch of the Glen - Series Three (DVD)
This series continues the addictive, comical, and yet sometimes poignant story of our favorite fictional Scottish family. (Picture "Northern Exposure" with kilts and the Scottish highlands and you'll have a pretty good idea if this series is for you.) True, there are some significant changes this season, but the cast is still as refreshing as ever and the storylines are gems. It is truly rare when a show can be as good at making one laugh as it is at eliciting tears, and this one certainly has those skills.
I highly recommend this series for anyone who wants something a bit different--a walk off the beaten path, but with all the features that make us similar: familial problems, love, jealously, life, and death. This series has a little something for everyone!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Probably the best season yet, July 19, 2005
This review is from: Monarch of the Glen - Series Three (DVD)
I have to resort to the American DVD releases, so I have only seen what is out on DVD:( Release them faster!
This season brings the bank into the lives at Glenbogle and all kinds of fun happens as a result.
The only thing I really hated was the end - not only because Season 4 isn't out yet, but because the wrap up was somewhat lacking and felt like maybe the show had been cancelled and they wanted to tie up some loose ends quickly. I know the show goes on, and have no idea if it was in trouble or not at the time, but it does feel like that.
Despite this, I found myself glued to it and watched the entire season in just a couple days then sent it to my mother who did the same thing and then my friend who also sat and watched the entire series.
Thanks for another great DVD release - keep them coming!
